Fun with Bugs

Culture Crawl L.A.

The bugs have flown! In this creepy-crawly summer adventure, families from around L.A. snared free bug kits and stalked free souvenir bugs as they enjoyed insect-themed activities at cultural institutions across L.A.—the Getty Center, the L.A. Zoo, the Natural History Museum, the California Science Center, and Kidspace Children's Museum.

Dwarf Caiman with False Coral Snake

Merian drew this reptile attacking a snake to protect her eggs. Can you find the infant reptile hatching from its egg?
